• The University of Virginia is expanding one of its long-standing financial aid programs.
• UVA is expanding its AccessUVA program to broaden access to the school for in-state students.

The University of Virginia is one of the most venerable public institutions of higher learning in the United States.

And the university, in its effort to broaden access to the institution for in-state families, announced on Friday that it would expand an existing financial aid program to cover the tuition and fees of students from families earning $100,000 or less.
